It Won’t Take Wealth To Get Your Hands On “The Black Sinister” HC On The Wednesday Run

It’s been ten years since the 2007-2008 global financial crisis that devastated longstanding, too-big-to-fail, banking institutions and shattered the life savings of hundreds of thousands of hard working people.

Entire countries were enveloped in the quicksand of collapse. Jobs were eliminated overnight. Lives were lost.

And hatred, abhorrence and distrust for the affluent deepened and spread.

The phrase “1 per cent” became mainstream, and pop culture followed down that rabbit hole in many ways, be it film or music, continuously shining the light of justice and social equity on money, power…and, in the case of comic books, the rich superheroes that protected the city and its citizens!

Ladies and gentlemen, purveyors of social justice, fandom of a certain age, if you haven’t already had the pleasure, let me introduce to today’s release of The Black Sinister!

The Black Sinister – Hardcover Graphic Novel

Written By: Kaare Andrews

Illustrated By: Troy Nixey

Published By: Dark Horse Comics

Canadian writer, illustrator, and director, Kaare Andrews (Renato Jones: The One%, Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, Spider-Man: Reign), has been crafting stories about aspects of the “1 per cent” and, reciprocally, the “99 per cent”, for some time now. Calling it his “Wealth” trilogy, the most popular of his creations is probably the monthly Renato Jones: The One%, published by Image Comics.

With The Black Sinister, Andrews has partnered with visionary illustrator, director and, it so happens, fellow Canadian, Troy Nixey (Lobster Johnson: A Chain Forged In Life, Only The End Of The World Again), to create a world that has justice spinning entirely out of control.

Originally published in serialized format within the pages of the monthly Dark Horse Presents anthology (issue s#26-#31), The Black Sinister tells the story of billionaire Emerson Black who offers his own brand of unhinged justice on gangs, villains and all sorts of dastardly criminals. All in equal measure with the common city jaywalker!
